Figure 9

Effect of non-adaptive support on reliance. A: Mean normalized step height during different steps of the trial in which the healthy subjects walked with the compliant (HC) and stiff (HS) step-height VMC. Mean parameters are calculated during the first step of the exposure block, during the last step of the exposure block, during the first step of the catch block and during continuous exposure. Continuous exposure is based on the last 10 steps of the last exposure block. B: Mean normalized step height during different steps of the trial in which the stroke survivors walked with the compliant (PCV) and stiff (PSV) step-height VMC, in combination with visual feedback. Mean parameters are calculated during the first step of the exposure block, during the last step of the exposure block, and the first step in the catch block. The last exposure block, with 50 steps of continuous exposure, was not included in the protocol of the stroke survivors. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. *p < 0.05.
